NOTE: One major difference in MicroWorlds EX is that each turtle has a backpack of its own. Many of the commands, shapes, rules and procedures in it are PRIVATE, meaning that they only apply to that turtle. You may still use PUBLIC rules, shapes and procedures, but they do not go into the backpack and are AVAILABLE to all turtles in a project. IF IF IF there are two procedures with the same name, the turtle will follow its own PRIVATE procedures instead of the PUBLIC procedures or shapes with the same name.
